Standard penetration test

(OP)
There are numerous correlations between the results of standard penetration and cone penetration tests and various soil properties.I'm looking for a book or any reference that has all these correlations together .
Thanks

If you can get your hands on it, check out the "Manual on Estimating Soil Properties for Foundation Design" by Kulhawy and Mayne (1990).  Electric Power Research Inst Report EPRI EL-6800.  This is an excellent manual--and the one to which others are compared.  Unfortunately, to purchase a copy, I believe you have to be an EPRI member, OR the cost is outrageous: this page  (http://www.epri.com/OrderableitemDesc.asp?product_id=EL%2D6800&targetnid=79&value=99T052.0&marketnid=8&oitype=1&;searchdate=8/1/1990) quotes $2500.  Lots of libraries have them available though, and there are a lot of unauthorized copies floating about.

A more recent manual is GEC #5, "Evaluation of Soil and Rock Properties" by Sabatini, Bachus, Mayne etc etc.  It's available numerous places on the Web, but I'll point you to Dr. Mayne's site (there are other fantastic references here too):
